Was just told I'm getting a promotion and a pay increase of more than $1 per hour that I didn't even apply for and they are sending me home to work from home for the foreseeable future. Well. Ok then 2020. Thanks for that I guess lol.

It's not that kind of test.
Tonight's wedding speech included a bit thanking the attendees for defying government social distancing guidelines. It seemed in poor taste.

Have fun!
I love my mother, but she's panicking over COVID-19 and has been texting my wife and I non-stop about cases and deaths in Virginia, and is at the point where she'll call and talk just because she's bored.

Just now she was complaining that she called her doctor and was told it'll take 24 hours for the doctor to call her back. "Considering the office is probably getting swamped with calls, if it's not a life-threatening emergency..." "Well, that office is poorly run anyway, I'm not surprised." And every time it feels like the conversation should end, she picks it right back up again, and when I'm just saying "yes" and "no" she worries I'm mad at her when I really don't have anything to add to the conversation and am just letting her rant...

Tell me I'm not a bad child for wanting to duck calls and texts from my Mom for the next several whatevers.

Nah this is perfectly normal, you're an adult now and you're seeing another adult being silly, but it's also one of your parents so the context gets thrown for a loop, because you learned early in your life you gotta listen to your mom/dad/caregiver and looked for them for guidance on how to act and react in certain situations. Now you're capable of making your own judgments but they're right there making their own and you know that they're wrong or misinformed but it's a hard goddamn hurdle to cross to call them on it without somehow offending them (after all, on some level they still see you as a kid) and most people end up just avoiding confrontation or even conversation just so they don't have to deal with it.

Bummed out that the only way you can watch all of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys is buying the box set. Booooo

Thinking I might watch some Power Rangers. Maybe RPM? I haven’t seen any since the first two seasons and stopped at the Thunderzords. Any standouts?

It's no longer a blue world, Max. Where could we go?



I took a westerns film studies class in college, it was a lot of fun. We had weekly showings of a film and spent the remaing class periods that week discussing it and writing papers.

We watched Stagecoach at one point. I got held up in another class so I was about 5 minutes late to the showing. NBD, but evidently the first 5 minutes is the only point in the film they say Claire Trevor's character is a prostitute who was run out of town. so I was super confused why everyone but John Wayne was just being a huge dick to this poor girl.

RPM has a rather young Adelaide Kane in it, so its totally work a watch. Beast Morphers is also up on Netflix, which is a pretty fun popcorn and weed show.

Shout has some presence on Pluto TV now, which is a thing I need to check out because they have legit Kamen Rider subs

Welp I just got laid off along with pretty much 90% of everyone else at my job. Wish I hadn't spent so much money this last fall. Fun fun fun. And who needs insurance that silly stuff.

Ah well what can you do? Same thing is going to happen to a lot of people.

Joining the working from home crew. Everyone else in on site but I take care of my elderly parents so I got the ok to jerk off on company time.

It also turns out my job only actually takes about 5 hours a day when I'm not padding or taking bullshit phone calls so there will be a lot of Doom Eternal with occasionally answering emails going on.

So I guess the constant mind-melting worry my parents are gonna die has a silver lining.

Edit: My condolences Sunshine. If you have credit card bills a few companies are offering "help" those furloughed/out of work so it's worth it to give them a call and see what can be done. I'm hoping the UBI proposal solidifies soon into something that's not complete horseshit.
